wfuckinga Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 With Axl's input several songs would have been killer and good Gn'R songs. I enjoyed both Snakepit albums.Ain't Life Grand (album) rocks. Serial Killer and Just Like Anything are some of Slash's best works imho, and I'd love to hear them with Axl's vocals. Same w/ Speed Parade, Mean Bone, Shine, Been There Lately and Ain't Life Grand (song).Don't you think Axl would have sounded awesome in Slash's ballad 'Back to the Moment'? That song has an incredible melodic solo and a killer outro.Back To The Moment is cool but I think I would prefer to keep Rod on vocals. save for Beggars and Jizz Da Pit.And Neither Can I, Be The Ball, Lower also. I think Guns could've done something with the odd time groove of What Do You Want To be, or at least they should have.I don't think those are good songs, but to each his own.

rocknroll41 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 The first 4 songs from It's Five O' Clock Somewhere along with "Cure Me Or Kill Me," "Tijuana Jail," and "Dead Flowers" from Gilby's first solo record all bundled with "This I Love" would've made a decent Guns N' Roses record, I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That song has an incredible melodic solo and a killer outro.The lead guitar melody from Back To The Moment, kinda reminds me of a follow up to Estranged. I think with Axl on there, it could've been an excellent GN'R ballad, same with Back & Forth Again, which is kinda like Fall To Pieces too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Be the Ball has some fine lyrics. Bob Dylan eat your heart out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U2, Stones, Metallica, Bon Jovi and I believe GNR was in that same upper echelon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom-Ass Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I never even thought of that.. Take the best songs from IFOS and Pawnshop Guitars, add Axl and Duff to the mix and you would have potentially had a bad ass album..Off the top of my headNeither Can ISoma City WardBeggars and HangarsCure Me Or Kill MeLowerSkin and BonesGood To Be AliveMinkey ChowDead FlowersHunting Dogs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosaj Thing Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I think yes, with Axl's input it could have been a great Gn'R record and certainly better to what we have now labeled as "Guns N' Roses". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustycage Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Yes. Better than CD for sure. Not really fond of Dover. The music is there, the vocals not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
